We have added a 1.5/2.5 bellows specification and expanded the modular BXP series. The electrostatic dissipative polyurethane "ESD DURAFLEX(R)" enables stable transport of cardboard and porous materials while addressing ESD concerns. It safely and reliably handles delicate workpieces such as batteries, fuel cells, and electronic components. Its compact design allows for smooth integration with existing equipment. Like the existing BXP family, the Ø6mm and Ø8mm BXP mini suction cups adopt a modular design, providing high flexibility. Available in 1.5 bellows and 2.5 bellows specifications, they improve adaptability to height differences and uneven surfaces. This product is offered with a Shore hardness of 60, designed to achieve an optimal balance of gripping force, flexibility, and durability. To ensure smooth integration with existing equipment, dedicated screw-in ESD fittings that ensure conductivity are also available, allowing for easy implementation in various machines and robotic systems.

Fruit picking requires flexibility. To ensure a reliable process, suction cups that can adapt to complex surfaces and various shapes are necessary. Piab's new metal-detectable product, the "FCX50," meets these conditions. It features a flexible bellows that can adapt even when the center of gravity is off, and it has a multi-lip design that accommodates diverse surface adhesion. The innovative multi-lip design of the FCX50 suction cup for fruits is ideal for handling fruits with difficult-to-adhere surfaces that are prone to leaks due to their diverse shapes. The excellent adhesion performance of Piab's new fruit suction cup reduces air leakage, allowing for the use of smaller vacuum pumps, which contributes to energy savings. To ensure detection by metal detectors, a small amount of metal powder is added to food-grade silicone during manufacturing.
